SAP Assessments
Before a migration, an upgrade, or an AI rollout, the question is the same: what's the real condition of the system you're starting from? Our assessments replace vendor marketing claims and internal guesswork with a structured, evidence-based picture you can actually plan against.
A Data Readiness Score, not a guess about whether you're ready
No transformation initiative — migration, AI, or otherwise — succeeds on poor data. We grade your SAP data quality across 12 dimensions and produce a prioritised remediation roadmap, rather than letting data problems surface mid-project.
Business goals first, platform comparison second
Without a stated direction, technology selection narrows too quickly to feature checklists instead of business performance — a structured framework keeps the evaluation objective.
Business objective definition
Goals stated clearly before platform comparison starts, so selection aligns with strategic priorities, not just feature lists.
Total cost of ownership analysis
The full TCO picture evaluated, not just license cost — infrastructure, customisation and ongoing operation included.
Process mapping & fit analysis
Core business processes mapped against platform capability, since digital transformation is a process, not a single project.
Phased milestone planning
A realistic sequence of phases, each with its own scope and exit criteria, rather than one undifferentiated programme.
Scalability & integration check
Future growth and integration needs with CRM, analytics and third-party tools considered upfront, not bolted on later.
Adoption strategy built in
User adoption planned as part of the roadmap from day one — the most carefully chosen platform still fails without it.
An honest read on the system you're actually running today
Before any upgrade, migration or optimisation project gets scoped, a health check establishes the real baseline — not the one assumed from the original go-live documentation.
Performance baseline
Current system performance captured as fact, so future comparisons aren't based on impression.
Configuration drift review
Years of incremental changes checked against original design intent, surfacing what's quietly drifted off course.
Add-on & custom code review
Third-party add-ons and custom objects checked for ongoing supportability and upgrade compatibility.
Sizing & capacity check
Database, server and storage capacity reviewed against actual, current transaction volume.
Paying for the licences you actually use, not the ones assigned by default
License mix tends to drift the same way configuration does — new hires default to the highest tier, departed staff keep their named-user licence, and nobody notices until renewal.
Usage analysis
What each named user actually does in the system, compared against their assigned licence tier.
Inactive user identification
Named-user licences still assigned to staff who've left or changed roles, surfaced and reclaimed.
Compliance & audit readiness
Usage checked against contractual entitlements, so an SAP audit isn't a surprise.
Indirect access review
Third-party and integration-driven system access reviewed, a common and often overlooked source of licence exposure.
Renewal preparation
A clear, evidence-backed position going into renewal, rather than starting the conversation from the vendor's number.
Right-sizing recommendations
A documented recommendation on which licence tier actually fits each role, not a default assumption.
Authorisations, segregation of duties, and the gaps nobody's looked at recently
Non-functional testing — including security and operational readiness — is treated as a core engineering discipline, not an afterthought bolted onto go-live.
Authorisation & role review
User roles checked against actual job function, surfacing over-permissioned access built up over time.
Segregation of duties analysis
Conflicting access combinations identified — the same person able to create and approve the same transaction, for example.
Patch & vulnerability review
Known security notes and outstanding patches checked against your current system status.
GRC alignment
Security posture reviewed against your governance, risk and compliance framework, not assessed in isolation.
Finding out where the system is actually slow, not where it's assumed to be
Performance and resiliency testing surfaces the bottlenecks that quietly compound over time — a slow report here, a long batch job there — before they're a daily complaint.
Query & report diagnostics
Slow-running reports and queries traced to their actual source, not patched with a workaround.
Batch & job scheduling review
Background job runtimes and scheduling reviewed against current transaction volume, not original go-live settings.
Resiliency & load testing
System behaviour under peak load tested deliberately, not discovered for the first time during a real spike.
Database & HANA sizing validation
In-memory database performance checked against actual data volume and usage growth over time.
Root-cause, not symptom relief
Recurring performance complaints traced to a fixable root cause, rather than re-opened every quarter.
Prioritised remediation plan
Findings translated into a sequenced plan, ranked by business impact and effort, not a flat list of issues.
Not sure what an assessment would actually find?
A free SAP readiness assessment gives you a baseline before you commit to a migration, upgrade, or AI initiative — no guesswork required.
